Philip Marlowe! I didn't know this story either. Nice again with Marlowe's voice-over who provides some commentary on the events. About an investigation into a missing valuable coin. During his investigation, the bodies pile up. George Montgomery is slightly less tough and cynical than Humphrey Bogart, who played Marlowe in The Big Sleep a year earlier. You can still live with it. But this is also a bit of a B-movie, resulting in a running time of 72 minutes, which is too short to make the story nice and complicated. Nice whodunit with a noir atmosphere.
